WIGGINTON Grasshoppers moved to within four points of premier division leaders Dunnington with an emphatic 5-0 win at Easingwold Town in the York Minster Engineering Football League.

Copmanthorpe moved three places up the table to fifth after a 4-1 win at Rowntrees.

Before the break, Cop ’keeper Ben Sheenan converted his second penalty of the season.

Dan Marshall pulled a goal back for Rowntrees midway through the second half.

John Dunning and Matty Webster were on target for Amotherby.

In the only division two fixture, Stamford Bridge lost 4-2 at home to Heslington.
